Machine Learning and Analytical Power Consumption Models for 5G Base
In this article, we propose a novel model for a realistic characterization of the power consumption of 5G multi-carrier BSs, which builds on a large data collection campaign.
China Mobile's measurement report9 indicates that the energy consumption of a 5G base station is 4.3 kWh, which is four times that of a 4G base station at 1.1 kWh. One 5G base station is estimated to produce 30 t of carbon emissions in one year of operation10.
The explosive growth of mobile data traffic has resulted in a significant increase in the energy consumption of 5G base stations (BSs).
New research from Greenpeace East Asia finds that electricity consumption from digital infrastructure in China is on track to increase an estimated 289% by 2035.4 Electricity use at 5G base stations in China is rising at an even more dramatic rate and is projected to increase nearly 500% over the same period.
The network traffic data were collected from China Mobile. We carried out a city-level measurement in Nanchang and collected fine-grained records on the network traffic of all 4G and 5G base stations for one week in May 2022. The network traffic data cover 12,264 4G base stations and 2,159 5G base stations.
Power consumption from 5G in China is on track to skyrocket 488% by 2035, reaching 297 billion kWh by 2035, roughly equivalent to Sichuan's total electricity consumption in 2020. To date, only two major data center operators in China, Chindata and AtHub, have committed to achieve 100% renewable energy by 2030.
The 5G BS power consumption mainly comes from the active antenna unit (AAU) and the base band unit (BBU), which respectively constitute BS dynamic and static power consumption. The AAU power consumption changes positively with the fluctuation of communication traffic, while the BBU power consumption remains basically unchanged,, .
In this article, we propose a novel model for a realistic characterization of the power consumption of 5G multi-carrier BSs, which builds on a large data collection campaign.

This work also shows that 4G base stations are lightly loaded on average and that static energy con-sumption accounts for more than 80% of total RAN energy consumption in
It is quite likely that the huge energy efficiency gains achieved by technology evolution have at least been compensated by the surge in data traffic. Therefore, in this paper,
Base station operators deploy a large number of distributed photovoltaics to solve the problems of high energy consumption and high electricity costs of 5G base stations. In this
Therefore, reduction of power consumption of 5G base stations is a main focus of 5G smart power grid construction. A peak-clipping power source stores energy during low
Guangdong, one of China economic powerhouses, enhanced its annual target to build 5G base stations to 32,000 from 20,000 after the country granted 5G licenses for commercial use in June.
